Chrisette Michelle trying for a comeback

I don't know what to think about Chrisette Michelle. She was warned by EVERYONE of the career-ending blowback she would get but she decided to perform at the inauguration in purposeful defiance. When you take a principled stand you must live it -- you don't come years later moaning and crying over the completely foreseeable, natural consequences of your knowing, intentional actions.

Also, I was never a fan so I don't have much invested in whether she can make a comeback. I am mostly familiar with her as one of Chante Moore's tormentors on "R&B Divas LA" [[more poor judgment on her part).

She and I lived in the same town out here on Long Island. Comeback for her? Fat chance!

Bye, Felicia.

I'm not really a fan of Chrisette's and only know her through her stint on "R&B DIVAS." I'm not sure who decides how and how long she should be punished, but I wish her well in her comeback.

Some lessons are learned the hard way. Maybe she can ponder her situation on her way to work her day job on Monday.

[midnightman]

She's gonna have to work twice as hard to earn anyone's respect back.

I do. I decide. :-)

Maybe she can sing at his impeachment?

Now that may redeem her........NOT! LOL!!!!

These comments LMAO...she's actually a good singer but definitely made a bad choice. She was previously warned and Questlove of The Roots actually offered to pay her not to do the performance. To every action there are consequences. She's been here a few times opening up for various artists but good luck on any real comeback.

It's too bad she was so head strong. Jennifer Holliday was hellbent on doing it too until she realized that her LGBTQ fans were going to bail on her. Except for that, she pretty much made it known that her black fans could kick rocks. Guess she didn't want to lose everybody since the MAGAs would nod their heads politely when she was singing but when they got back to their hotels, they'd already forget who she was, let alone download any of her songs.

Effie knows her audience. For Chrisette, a paycheck's a paycheck. SMH

Chrisette is young so I would hate for this moment to completely derail the possibilities that her talent promises. However, she was warned and she walked right into her present situation so she has to lay in the bed she made. I can't wait to see what Gladys Knight's old enough to know better ass career is going to do in the wake of her latest controversy.

I’m sure Gladys will eventually reclaim her seat at the table, like James Brown & Steve Harvey before her. Though both had to do a lot to prove to us that hanging with Nixon & Trump respectively, was ill advised on their part. But I guess we’ll have to see what happens.

Chrissette on the other hand, wasn’t nearly on the level with Gladys, Steve or James. So she’ll have to do 10 times as much to get her seat back.

I think we were a more forgiving people when James went Nixon. I still see/hear a lot of nastiness about Steve Harvey so I don't know how much reclaiming he has done. But I agree with you about Chrisette. Won't be nearly as "easy" for her to get over this as it might for the others.

Gladys will be fine. Her audience is not clued in to the NFL/Kaepernick issue. In her defense, she was wise enough not to perform at inauguration festivities and you know she was asked. The folks making this an issue for Gladys are not her audience and would not have paid to see her live anyway -- and she knows it.

I'll still enjoy the songs I've always loved but I'm not buying anything else from her and will not pay to see her if she ever tours again. She lost a lot of respect from people who held her in high regard and if she can replace those fans with people from Trump's base, God bless her. But that won't happen.

We all know that it takes a lot of breaks for anybody to succeed since the world is full of very talented folks who are never heard by a mass audience. She simply took the wrong time to make the wrong choice because very few people are going to miss her. And yeah, a lot of people that I know refuse to watch any of Steve Harvey's many shows because of his Trump Tower adventure. Just hard to see him in the same light.
